Ingredients

  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 2 cups sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

  • In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar and cinnamon. In another bowl, whisk the egg, sweet potatoes and oil. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.

Yum! So moist and tender and delicious. I'm at high altitude so usually use a bit of extra flour anyway, so I didn't do the editor's trick but just used 2 cu. all purpose flour, 3 tsp. baking powder and 1 tsp. salt, and followed the rest of the recipe. The muffins came out with a great texture and flavor, and not too sweet even with the glaze.

These are wonderful even without the glaze on top!

Absolutely loved these muffins--they've been raved about every time I make them. I cut the oil in half and added a half-cup of applesauce to make it healthier. They turned out so flavorful and moist.

I love anything with sweet potatoes, but my husband is a skeptic. Once I convinced him to try these muffins, he was hooked. They are so moist and flavorful. Easy to prepare as well.

These never last long in my house when I make them. Even my friends & neighbors rave about them! The sweet glaze is just enough to top off the sweet muffins for a yummy breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, or whenever!

After eating 3 of these and asking for a 4th, my 6 year old told me that I "make the best muffins ever!"

These are yummy. I did not make the glaze because I thought there was plenty of sugar already. They are very dense, and I did cook them for an additional 5 min. (23 min total).

They also didn't rise at all...pretty flat. But the taste is great!!

Incredibly moist and delicious!! I live at high altitude (5500 ft) and made no corrections - came out perfect!
